Sittin’ on a Million is the sometimes-true story of Mame Faye, who ran a world famous house of prostitution in Troy NY for almost forty years. Despite being snubbed by official historians, everyone past the age of retirement has a story - funny, sordid, unbelievable - about Troy’s most famous madam. Sittin’ on a Million  asks us to consider the role of memory and imagination in creating history, and reminds us about all those ordinary, extraordinary people erased from the official record.
